Author Description

Excerpt from The Feed Situation: August-September, 1953 The total supply of all feed concentrates for 1953-5h, including the grains and.the byproduct feeds, is now estimated at 176 million tons, h percent larger than in 1952-53. This would.be near record, both in total tonnage and in relation to the number of livestock to be fed. Livestock numbers and.production in 1953-5h are expected to be a little smaller than for the current feeding season, largely as a result of fewer hogs to be fed The number of grain-consuming animal units to be fed in 1953-5h is now estimated at about 167 million, about 2 million less than the 169 mil lion in 1952-53. If the rate of feeding per animal unit in 1953-5h is about the same as the average for the years l9h6-50, the total tonnage of feed grains and other concentrates fed to livestock would.be 125 million tons, a little larger than in 1952-53, when the rate of feeding is estimated to be the lowest of recent years. The total quantity of feed grains used for seed, human food, industry, and export probably will continue somewhere near the level of 17 million tons for the past 2 years. Based on these prospects, the carryover of feed grains at the close of the 1953-5h season would be a little above the previous record of 31 million tons in 1950.
